1 Setting Up Your Projector
Your Projector is simple to set up and use. But before you get started, you must first:
1. Determine the image size
2. Set up a screen or select a non-glossy white wall onto which you
can project your image.
3. Install the optional lens to the projector.4. Connect the supplied power cable.
5. Set up the projector.
6. Connect a PC, VCR, DVD player, or other equipment.
7. Make settings or adjustments on the projector.

MERCURY HD2. Installation
For screen sizes between 60 and 400 not indicated on the tables, use the formula below:
Throw Distance (distance from front of casing to screen) = [Screen Width (W)  x  Throw Ratio (magnification)] +/- [ extension]
(where [extension] = distance between front of casing and end of lens)
Example: Throw Distance for 2.5m wide screen using zoom lens 001-736 set to 1.3 : 1
Throw Distance = 2.5m  x  1.3 = 3.25m + .088m = 3.34m
= 98in x 1.3 = 127in + 3.5in = 130.5in
Lens extensions and useable ranges are as follows:

Desktop Mounting
Ceiling MountingNormal projection position
2 Lens Shift Adjustable Range
The diagram shows the location of the image position in the lens. The lens can be shifted within the shaded area as shown
using the normal projection position as a starting point.
Maximum Possible Range (for zoom lenses only: fixed lens cannot be shifted):
Up: 0.5 H where H: height of projected image
Down:0.16 H
Right:0.1 W where W: width of projected image
Left:0.1 W
NOTE: If lens is shifted in two directions combined, maximum range in both directions cannot be obtained due to circular shape of lens.(example: shift up and right - see dotted box in diagram below.)
NOTE: zoom lenses only: fixed lenses cannot be shifted without losing the corners of the image
WARNING* Installing the projector on the ceiling must be done by a qualified
technician.
• Tilting the projector from side to side by more than 12° from level
will reduce lamp life (see page iv).
• Only use your projector on a solid, level surface. If the projector
falls, you could be injured and the projector severely damaged.
• Do not use the projector where temperatures vary greatly. The
projector must be used at temperatures between 32°F (0°C) and
95°F (35°C).
• Do not expose the projector to moisture, dust, or smoke. This will
reduce the quality of the image.
• Ensure that you have adequate ventilation around your projector
so heat can dissipate. Do not cover the vents on the projector.

3 Optional Lens Installation
This section describes how to install the lens.
Before installation
* Determine the optional lens to be used to obtain a desired projection distance. There are six optional lenses available:
0.64 : 1 fixed part no. 102-373
0.96 : 1 fixed part no. 102-835
1.2 - 1.44 : 1 zoom part  no.  102-374
1.44 - 1.8 : 1 zoom part  no.  102-375
1.8 - 2.4 : 1 zoom part  no.  102-376
2.4 - 3.6 : 1 zoom part  no.  102-377
3.6 - 5.6 zoom part  no.  102-378
* Press the power button (ON/STAND BY) on the projector or POWER OFF button on the remote control for a minimum of two seconds to turn
off the power, wait 90 seconds for the cooling fan to stop,  then disconnect the power cable.
Check that the projector has cooled off sufficiently before proceeding.
CAUTION* The projector and lens contain high-precision parts. Do not induce shock to the projector or the lens.
* Do not touch the lens surface. Doing so can degrade the optical performance.
Preparation: Tools needed for installation:
A cross head screwdriver.
NOTE: It is possble that the ‘Lens Shift’ feature (described on the previous page and in Section 3. Projecting an Image) may have used to move the
lens mount to the far right side, making installation difficult. If this is the case, then turn the projector back on again and use the Position buttons to
shift the lens back towards the mid-position. When this has been done, turn the projector off as decribed above, before continuing.
1. Remove the rear lens cover, but leave the front cover on to protect the lens surface during installation.
2. Insert the lens into the lens mount with the connector to the right, taking care to line up the locating pin on the lens with the locating hole above
the opening. Push the lens in firmly to engage the connector.
3. Secure the lens using the three cross-head screws.
NOTE. Remove the lens cover before use

4 Making Connections
NOTE: When using with a notebook PC, be sure to connect between the projector and the notebook PC before turning on the power to the
notebook PC. In most cases signal cannot be output from RGB output unless the notebook PC is turned on after connecting with the projector.
* If the screen goes blank while using your remote control, it may be the result of the computers screen-saver or power management software.
* If you accidentally hit the POWER button on the remote control, wait 90 seconds and then press the POWER button again to resume.
When Viewing a DVI Digital Signal:
To project a DVI digital signal, be sure to connect the PC and the projector using a DVI-D signal cable (not supplied) before
turning on your PC or projector. Turn on the projector first and select DVI (DIGITAL) from the source menu before turning on
your PC.
Failure to do so may not activate the digital output of the graphics card resulting in no picture being displayed. Should this
happen, restart your PC.
Do not disconnect the DVI-D signal cable while the projector is running. If the signal cable has been disconnected and then re-
connected, an image may not be correctly displayed. Should this happen, restart your PC.
NOTE:
• Use the DVI-D cable compliant with DDWG (Digital Display Working Group) DVI (Digital Visual Interface) revision 1.0 standard. The DVI-D cable
should be within 5 m (196) long.
• The DVI (DIGITAL) connector accepts VGA (640x480), SVGA (800x600), 1152x864, XGA (1024x768) and SXGA (1280x1024 @ up to 60Hz).

2. Use a commercially available signal cable to connect your PC or
Macintosh to the projector.
3. Turn on the projector and the computer.
4. If the projector goes blank after a period of inactivity, it may be
caused by a screen saver installed on the computer youve
connected to the projector.
Connecting to RGB 1 IN connectors (BNC)
Use a BNC25 cable (not supplied) to connect your PC and
the RGB 1 IN connectors on your projector.

Projection dealer. Contact your Digital Projection dealer for more
information. To RGB 2 IN
Connecting an External Monitor
You can connect a separate, external monitor to your
projector to simultaneously view on a monitor the RGB analog
image youre projecting. To do so:
1. Turn off the power to your projector, monitor and computer.
2. Use a 15-pin cable to connect your monitor to the RGB OUT (Mini D-
Sub 15 pin) connector on your projector.
3. Turn on the projector, monitor and the computer.
NOTE:
• The RGB OUT connector outputs RGB signal during idle mode (See
page 8-15). When the projector goes into idle mode, the image on an
external monitor disappears for a moment. Note that the RGB OUT
connector will not output RGB signal during Standby mode.
• When the projector is in the Idle mode, the image may not be
correctly displayed while the cooling fans are running immediately
after turning on or off the power. Note that the RGB OUT connector
will not output RGB signal during Standby mode.
• Daisy chain connection is not possible.
